Driveway & Road Building

Working with your local government – county, state or township – Timm’s Trucking & Excavating assists you in determining the driveway and road building requirements within your area. This is especially important if you plan to build a road that you want the township to maintain after completion. Aside from working with your local government offices we also provide the following services:

Suitable Location Planning – We help determine the best location to utilize existing grades

Money Saving Techniques – By using material borrowed from the build site for the base we can decrease costs (especially true on larger driveways)

Driveway Grading – Grade your existing driveway, adding rock or gravel when necessary to bring the driveway up to grade

Landscaping Excavation

We have an excellent reputation for our final grade work, such as leveling topsoil for seedbeds or sod installation. While we don’t build retaining wall, we do have the right equipment needed to prepare your project and get it off to a level start.

You can order topsoil and level it by hand but in the end you may find yourself paying the chiropractor when your leveling job is finished; in most cases it is quicker and more cost effective to have us complete the job for you.

Mini Excavation Work

All jobs within the excavation umbrella require a certain level of planning; however, at times there are jobs that also require skill and careful execution. Such is the case when digging next to existing foundations. At Timm’s Trucking & Excavating we are able to complete these more difficult jobs by utilizing our mini excavator, allowing us to get close to structures. These jobs include:

Foundation Excavating & Trench Digging for Drain Tile Installation

Excavating for Egress Window Installation

Excavating & Shaping Areas for Landscaping (Retaining Walls & Patios)
